Mineralogical Signatures of Cold and Icy Climates on Ancient and Modern Mars
Abstract
Based on results from glacial Mars analog sites in Oregon and in mafic regions of the Antarctic ice sheet, ice/snowmelt weathering is consistent with observed Amazonian and Hesperian sediments, but warmer climes are required for Noachian mineralogy.
